with all of this trade talk

[Bartin]

I'd call Indy up for Moncrief. They're loaded with Wide outs. So is GB. That's just me though. But really, we're winning with what we have now. 

He is their WR2 and an emerging stud they drafted in the 3rd round last year. Dorsett is out for 4-6 weeks and Johnson is pretty much finished. They need him and they wouldn't trade him anyway since they have him for cheap for 2 more years. Guys on rookie deals don't get traded unless they are terrible or in the last year of their deal with no hope of resigning.

go look at pattersons numbers his rookie year and then go look at Hills entire career.

not even fair to compare the two. Patterson had star written all over him after his very productive rookie year. He probably won't turn into a star but you can't help but notice how good he was his rookie year and how good he is with the ball in his hands. 

The only comparison I've got going between the two, is people's expectations of them, and those expectations never being met... ever.

How is GB loaded at WR this year?  They lost their top WR (Nelson) for the year.

Jones, Cobb, Adams, Janis, Montgemery, Abbrederis. Half of those guys are better than what we have for a #2 and hell.. a #1. That's not even talking about Nelson. 

 

To me that's loaded without Nelson.

rather take my chances on sammy watkins

[motocross_cat]

Prett sure you're referring to Norwood, as Norwell the ManBeast mauls opponents on the regular.

yea my fault, was early in the am.

go look at pattersons numbers his rookie year and then go look at Hills entire career.

Patterson has played in 38 total games and has 5 TD receptions.

Hill has played in 23 total games and has 4 TD receptions.

Patterson caught 80 passes his first 2 years for a whopping 863 yards (10.8 yards per reception).

Hill has caught 45 passes in his 2 active years for 594 yards (13.2 yards per reception).

Its clear by these comparisons that Patterson is soooooo worth a draft pick in a trade.  ;)

[CPantherKing]

Chris Conley, Ty Montgomery, and Stefon Diggs.

Is Devin Funchess worth those 3 receivers? The Panthers front office thought he was. Bad moves at the receiver position over the past 2 off seasons.

 

Jarvis Landry was a desired WR by many for the Panthers after gutting the position. Panthers decided Kony Ealy was a better value.

 

Too many mistakes at the WR position over the past 2 off seasons by the front office. Should not need to trade for a WR at this point to be honest - even with an injury to the #1.

Fantastic observations made from the POV of 100% hindsight!

Not hindsight. Comes from my mocks/big board before the drafts. These are the receivers I had targeted. Funchess was never worth 3 draft picks, and he was chosen too high in the 2nd round.

Based on the injuries and Ealy's overall performance this year, his stock has increased (ignoring the fact that you can't truly evaluate a player until year 3 anyway). We know the team is 6-0 without any of those receivers; would they be 6-0 without Ealy?  

[imminent rogaine]

Would rather start Joe Webb

[panthers55]

Not sure how Patterson is any better than Boldin and Smith.  We have the players we need to do well as long as we develop them.  Both Funchess and Norwell have the athleticism to be starters.  But like everything else, it takes time to learn this complex offense.

[panthers34]

The only comparison I've got going between the two, is people's expectations of them, and those expectations never being met... ever.  

He had 9 total touchdowns in 2013 as a rookie which was better than anyone's expectations because they were creative finding ways to get him the ball 

im not saying he will be a great WR but he can become a very solid role player with big play potential that can change a game.
